Grammar

to verb, question

Hi.

I heard about the kenya shutting down the refugee place from the news, then I ran across about kenya refugee headline sentences.

Among those headline, I found some particulary headline "Kenya to close all refugee camps and displace 600,000 people | Africa | News ..."

My question is that the headline use 'to close' without verb. Is this sentence correct?
also I can't get well understand the meaning of headline. Would you let me know about the grammar and meaning or nuanse?

You can also see it as the omission of "is going."

Carter Lee1. What if I use 'be verb' in that headline, what should I do?
You shouldn't use it in the headline, but the sentence from which the headline is derived is this:

Kenya isto close all refugee camps and displace 600,000 people
